As it is Ascension Day, a general free day for everyone, I hope you don't mind me using a moment to take the old Persian apothegm from your link Language Log out into the open:

Quote:
He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool; shun him.
He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, can be taught; teach him.
He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep; wake him.
He who knows, and knows that he knows, is a prophet; follow him.

As the prophet or saviour, whichever way you consider him ascended into the blue.
